Gu Nianxi looked deeply at Su Yuheng, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Do you remember? You bit me back then, and there are still scars here." Gu Nianxi touched her shoulder and asked him with her eyes, "Maybe Brother A Heng doesn't remember."
"Oh? Do you have a scar here? Why didn't you see it when you were a child?" Gu's mother asked in confusion.
Gu Nianxi looked at Su Yuheng steadily and smiled, "Oh, maybe the scar will become more and more obvious as it grows older."
In fact, the scar on Gu Nianxi's shoulder was bitten by him when she was 19 years old. He said that he would never let her forget the name Su Yuheng in her life.
However, she really wanted to forget it, to forget it completely, once and for all.
Su Yuheng understood that everything Gu Nianxi did at this moment was to make him unhappy. He lowered his head, feeling too guilty that he did not dare to look at her again.
"You guys are too naughty, are you being too modest with A Heng?" Gu's father scolded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come on, I'll give myself a glass of wine to apologize." Zhao Zimu raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then, he glanced at Gu Nianxi and said, "Niannian, it's your turn."
Gu Nianxi sat there motionless, and suddenly laughed, "I have been punished for my mistakes, but I am more sincere than your glass of wine, brother A Heng, right?"
It took her three years to make up for her mistakes, wasn't it enough?
Gu Nianxi's words were thorny, and Zhao Zimu couldn't answer the words. She realized her gaffe, raised her glass and toasted Su Yuheng with a glass of wine.
"I wish you..." She couldn't say the blessing, so she looked at him like this, suddenly wanting to cry. She finally saw him, but in such a tense situation, Gu Nianxi did not continue.
Go down, raise the glass to your mouth.
——I wish you a lonely life.
This was the subtext in her heart, but of course she couldn't say it out loud. Gu Nianxi pursed her lips tightly, thought for a while and finally spoke.
"I wish you a happy life and stay away from pain and suffering."
When she said these words, Su Yuheng's eyes turned red. He knew that her blessings were sincere and that she understood what he needed most. He lowered his head and pinched his fingertips under the table, turning white.
Gu Nianxi's nose felt sour and she drank the glass of wine with tears in her eyes.
"A Heng, you and Zi Ti have been together for many years. Don't just focus on starting a business. You should also take personal matters into consideration." Gu's mother did not know the emotional entanglement between the three of them and said to Su Yuheng worriedly.
"mom!"
Gu Nianxi interrupted her mother. The chaos in this scene was really troublesome. How could a mother-in-law persuade her ex-son-in-law to marry another woman as soon as possible? This was simply unheard of, but she really couldn't blame anyone except the only one.
She blames her for not letting her family know about her secret marriage to Su Yuheng.
"Young people should make their own decisions."
Father Zhao wisely ended the topic. Zhao Ziti's marriage has always been a major concern for him. He knew that his daughter liked Su Yuheng, but he could also see that Su Yuheng's feelings for her were unclear.
Just after everyone turned their attention away from them, they heard a faint but firm voice coming from a corner not far away.
"I was once married, but I separated from her due to personal reasons. I don't want to get married again now."
When Su Yuheng said this, he kept staring at Gu Nianxi. He saw her long eyelashes tremble a few times, and then she lowered her head deeply.
Gu Nianxi suddenly thought of what Zhao Ziti said to her two years ago, "A Heng regrets getting married very much. He is a footless bird. How could he be willing to be imprisoned in the cage of marriage?"
He may have really experienced a life bound by marriage before he realized that he was not suitable for marriage.
"A Heng, is your father in good health now?" Zhao's father asked Su Yuheng.
"Well, my father is in good health." Su Yuheng looked away from Gu Nianxi and whispered back to Zhao's father.
"Speaking of it, the three of us brothers have met only a handful of times in the past few decades. I often think about the time when we were in college. Lao Gu, tell me, how many times did you and Su Yi deceive you by relying on your good looks?
My school girl’s meal ticket.”
"That's Su Yi, not me. When you look at A Heng now, you'll think of Su Yi when he was young. When your father was in college, as long as he stood on the basketball court, there would be many female students surrounding him."
Father Gu couldn't help but sigh, "Time makes people grow old. I didn't expect that the charming Su Daqingsheng would live alone for decades."
The three parents were close buddies in the same university dormitory. After graduation, the three of them chose jobs in different fields.
When he was young, Zhao's father worked in a state-owned enterprise for two years and then resigned to go into business. He started from inland logistics to a foreign trade company and already had a certain status among his peers. After graduating from university, Su's father went to the United States to study, and has since stayed abroad to develop.
Now he is a wealthy businessman worth hundreds of millions and has opened several department stores and large supermarket chains.
Among the three of them, only Gu Nianxi's father has the most conservative thoughts and has always been content with the status quo in City S. The Gu family comes from a scholarly family. After graduation, Gu's father has been teaching at the university and is an ordinary university professor.
"A Heng, your father went to France?"
After listening to her father's inquiry, Gu Nianxi found out that Su's father had gone to France. Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but wonder if Su's father went to France to find his mother?
"Well, my mother... something happened."
"What's wrong with your mother?" Gu's father asked worriedly.
Su Yuheng hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly, "My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer during a prenatal check-up, and my father went to France to visit her."
Su Yuheng's words surprised everyone present. The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed, and everyone's mood was depressed by the news.
"Hey, Su Yi and Chen Wanyu have been ruined in their lives because they love face too much. Neither of them is willing to admit that the choice they made at the beginning was wrong. Is it worth spending half their lives trying to be serious?"
Father Gu solved the problem of Su Yuheng's parents with one word, and several elders sighed.
"The two have been at a stalemate for most of their lives, but in the end they still can't let go of each other."
Father Zhao's emotion hurt the hearts of Su Yuheng and Gu Nianxi. Both of them looked a little uneasy. Gu Nianxi's nose was sore and she almost shed tears.
"Su Yi owes Chen Wanyu too much in this life." Gu's mother's words made many people present think deeply. She is a woman, how could she not understand Chen Wanyu's thoughts? She said that she left Su Yi to seek relief, but in the end it hurt her the most.
But it was Su Yi who didn't want to stay.
"I still remember the first time I saw Chen Wanyu. At that time, I was thinking, how could there be such a fresh and refined girl, like a fairy descending from the earth." Gu's mother looked into the distance, "A Heng, you
You can't blame your mother too much. Your father's paranoia hurt her deeply back then, and I believe she had no choice but to leave you with your father."
"I know."
Su Yuheng simply replied with three words, which contained too much sadness. In the past few years, he occasionally went to France to visit her. In fact, she was not happy. She lived alone in that city with several cats.
I spent most of my life like this.
She sat with him at the round table under the eaves, and talked openly to him about many past events. Su Yuheng later learned that she was often abused by her father during their marriage, and even suffered domestic violence in the end.
"Every time I hold you in my arms, I wonder when this life will end. Your father used to be such an elegant man, but later...how did it become like this? You are too young, and my mother doesn't want you to
You know this, how can you understand the conflicts between adults at the age of six, so I can only pretend that nothing happened in front of you."
Su Yuheng recalled his childhood, and indeed he remembered that he would occasionally see bruises on his mother's arms, but she told him that they were paint on the drawing board.
"Dad, I heard Uncle Su say that Nian Nian looks like Aunt Chen when she was young, right?"
Zhao Ziti seemed to be joking, but Gu Nianxi knew in her heart that she was definitely irritating her on purpose. She didn't just want her to know that Su Yuheng was pestering her as a substitute for his mother.
"It's somewhat similar."
"It's not like that."
Su Yuheng's strong denial made the atmosphere awkward for a while.
Gu Nianxi was completely irritated and stood up quickly. Everyone looked at her. After holding back for a long time, Gu Nianxi said, "I'm going to take a call." Then she grabbed her cell phone and walked out of the restaurant.
